THIN sheets of blue smoke among white slabs . near the shingle mill . winter morning.
Falling of a dry leaf might be heard . circular steel tears through a log.
Slope of woodland . brown . soft . tinge of blue such as pansy eyes.
Farther, field fires . funnel of yellow smoke . spellings of other yellow in corn stubble.
Bobsled on a down-hill road . February snow mud . horses steaming . Oscar the driver sings ragtime under a spot of red seen a mile . the red wool yarn of Oscar’s stocking cap is seen from the shingle mill to the ridge of hemlock and cedar.
(Carl Sandburg)
